 DANCE- is a performing art form
consisting of purposefully selected
sequences of human movement.
 This movement has aesthetic and
symbolic value, and is acknowledged
as dance by performers and
observers within a particular culture.
 Dance can be categorized and
described by its choreography, by its
repertoire of movements, or by its
historical period or place of origin.
 An important distinction is to be
drawn between the contexts of
theatrical and participatory dance,
although these two categories are not
always completely separate; both
may have special functions, whether
social, ceremonial, competitive,
erotic, martial, or sacred/liturgical.
 Other forms of human movement are
sometimes said to have a dance-like
quality, including martial arts,
gymnastics, cheerleading, figure
skating, synchronized swimming,
marching bands, and many other
forms of athletics.
ELEMENTS OF DANCE
 BODY
 ACTION
 SPACE
 TIME
 ENERGY
FOLK DANCE- is developed by people
that reflect the life of the people of a
certain country or region.
 Not all ethnic dances are folk dances.
For example, ritual dances or dances
of ritual origin are not considered to be
folk dances.
1|PageELLEN MAE CATEDRAL 12 HUMSS 1
 Ritual dances are usually called
"Religious dances" because of their
purpose.
 The terms "ethnic" and "traditional" are
used when it is required to emphasize
the cultural roots of the dance.
 In this sense, nearly all folk dances
are ethnic ones. If some dances, such
as polka, cross ethnic boundaries and
even cross the boundary between
"folk" and "ballroom dance", ethnic
differences are often considerable
enough to mention.
ETHNIC DANCE- It has various
subcategories, such as folk dancing. Folk
dances are activities that are an intrinsic
part of a culture.
 This includes dances such as the
Mexican hat dance or the Argentine
tango.
 It is not just that the dances come from
a particular ethnic group but that the
dances help to define that group.
 A dance that originated with a
particular ethnic group from Asia,
Africa, the Middle East, the United
States or anywhere else counts as
ethnic. However, if it is not popular or
well-known, then the dance often does
not count as a folk dance.
MODERN DANCE -is often considered to
have emerged as a rejection of, or
rebellion against, classical ballet.
 Socioeconomic and cultural factors also
contributed to its development. In the
late 19th century, dance artists such as
Isadora Duncan, Maud Allan, and Loie
Fuller were pioneering new forms and
practices in what is now called

aesthetic or free dance for
performance.
 These dancers disregarded ballet's
strict movement vocabulary, the
particular, limited set of movements
that were considered proper to ballet,
and stopped wearing corsets and
pointe shoes in the search for greater
freedom of movement.
CONTEMPORARY DANCE- is a genre of
dance performance that developed during
the mid twentieth century and has since
grown to become one of the dominant
genres for formally trained dancers
throughout the world, with particularly
strong popularity in the U.S. and Europe.
 Although originally informed by and
borrowing from classical, modern, and
jazz styles, it has since come to
incorporate elements from many
styles of dance.
 Due to its technical similarities, it is
often perceived to be closely related
to modern dance, ballet, and other
classical concert dance styles.
BALLROOM DANCE/SOCIAL DANCING
(DANCE SPORTS)- is a set of partner
dances, which are enjoyed both socially
and competitively around the world.
Because of its performance and
entertainment aspects, ballroom dance is
also widely enjoyed on stage, film, and
television.
 Ballroom Dance may refer, at its widest
definition, to almost any type of partner
dancing as recreation. However, with
the emergence of dance sport in
modern times, the term has become
narrower in scope and traditionally

refers to the five International Standard
and five International Latin style
dances. The two styles, while differing
in technique, rhythm and costumes,
exemplify core elements of ballroom
dancing such as control and
cohesiveness.
 Developed in England the two styles
are now regulated by the World Dance
Council (WDC) and the World Dance
Sport Federation (WDSF). In the United
States, two additional variations are
